Ethereal and beautiful . . . with angelic voices and smooth bell-like sounds . . this is peaceful music, to set the mood for relaxation or dreaming . . . I have enjoyed this album for many days now and have not grown bored with it at all!**************************************************

Jazzy and subtle . . . warm and traditional . . . Great swing-time rhythm, be-bop with a strong beat and smooth brush drums . . . Very nice music to energize your day and yet leave you room to think and dream . . .***************************************************

Deus King is one of Jamendo's creative and adroit stars . . . His music never disappoints . . . but is able to uplift and soothe . . . It will always fill the environment with lovely melodies and quiet hints at a greater beauty in the Universe . . . in other words it takes you to the stars . . . wherever you wish to go to dream and be free . . . This track had an interesting tonality in the percussive sound . . . a kind of crackling energy which took me by surprise . . . But overall I loved this track.****************************************************

Beautiful and soothing . . . a dream of a song . . . like flying through the trees of the forest as the sun rises . . . the water of the stream reflecting the ripples of the breeze, and the birds give voice . . .****************************************************

Kellerkind Berlin is moving from Jamendo to Bandcamp :https://kellerkindberlin.bandcamp.com/I am making a note of that, because I love his very listenable music . . . Music that ripples with a serenity and tranquil flow of sound . . . using a variety of electronic instruments there is not a moment of disharmony to be heard. Beautiful!****************************************************

This album by Sarah King and Laurent Danis is beautifully put together . . . That sexy voice of Sarah's speaks for itself, drawing the listener into the sweet dreams of the lyrics . . . and the gentle music of Laurent's is the perfect embracing of such tender song . . . Overall this is an excellent album to take on a love trip . . . or enjoy during dreamy moments . . . As Sarah said, "Although they appear to be about romantic love there is a deeper spiritual element that convey my longing and union with everything. Naked for example can be taken literally or as a stripping of all the covers, emotion, personality, pride etc." ***************************************************

The first track had such a unique sound . . . not so gray, but more like leaves dancing in the sunshine making the tree branches wave to and fro . . . and the sunlight, shifts around warming the facesof those around . . . I think this is one of the most interesting tracks I've heard lately . . . it entrances me . . . taking me on trips through the environments of my dreams . . . This music was like waves, traveling over my ego . . . calming my heart encouraging me . . . and yet opening the world, an endless city full of sound . . .the eternity of space . . . A beautiful swirling of colorful gases . . . colors I have never seen . . . a gray most sublime . . .**************************************************

I am never, ever, disappointed in the smooth, captivating voice of PERSSON's electric guitar. This musician has a signature sound that uses some fire and energy mixed with a cool laid back bluesy feeling . . . I would call these tunes . . . hopeful blues because of the spark and lilt incorporated into the melody . . . always a HUGE pleasure to find one of his albums here. (note: at this point the album is difficult to find and download, as there is a problem on Jamendo which they are aware of and will fix soon)****************************************************

Yummy . .. another delightful guitarist . .. that first track is so captivating that you will find yourself enraptured by that stunning bluesy personality . . .. this album's music is smooth and cool in temperature and flows like spring water as it seeks the sea . .. ***************************************************

OKay! As soon as I clicked play . . . my feet started tapping and dancing so where will they take me? Away into the bright and exciting new day; into a photo album of memories; or dreams of love, and occasionally an expressive wistfulness .. . This is an excellent, rocking album; strongly reminiscent of the Beatles, with an interesting twist at every turn of the page . . . I think I was most impressed by the song: "Yug Siht" which incorporated some exciting beats and brilliantly cool energies with mysterious vocals threading in and out giving emphases to this upbeat piece . . . I think these guys are romantic dreamers . . . putting a smile on the listener's face and a happy hope in the heart. Yvalain is known for putting together some excellent bands producing, as usual, an altogether wonderful gift!***************************************************

This is a Magnatune album which has bewitched me completely . .. Since I have discovered it, I rarely pass a day without listening . . . there is something in the voice and the sweet violin which touches my heart and expands there like a tender memory or dream . . . luscious and light . . with wings and honey. . . . . find a warmth in this music . . . where a visionary existence comforts the confounded . . .**************************************************

Flute . . . improvisational flute . . . definitely interesting if not beautiful at times. Sometimes intense, passionate, wistful . . . peaceful . . . Give it a listen and see what you think and maybe just enjoy being in the sensitive presence of this music . . . live and full of spirit . . .**************************************************

Lively and alive . . . music that makes you move, breathing in the warm Latin flavors of this guitar . . . give your sensitive spirit a chance to see color and feel the vibration of energy.****************************************************

It is always a treat to listen to the beautifully produced and professionally composed music of Butterfly Tea. From the exotic to the sublime . . . from the passionate to the cinematic . . .. the lightly kissed flavor of the Orient floats through on the delicate wings of the butterfly . . . Such a gorgeous listen.*****************************************************

Café Del Chillia always makes music that settles well in my spirit . . . dreamy and cool . . . a peaceful way to relax and enjoy a quiet moment. His music is always beautiful and I am never disappointed when I chose one of his albums . . .

Link to musician's blog page:http://musicaparaelbunker.blogspot.com/2014/01/pablo-montero-stargazing.html?spref=fbThis music was so endearing, heart captivating and sentimental that the tears came to my eyes unbidden. It reminds me . . . like the musician said, of childhood watchings of the sky . . . how I dreamed of flying into that beautiful heaven and meeting the stars in their own fields . . This is truly a celestial music . .. and exactly what I feel like when I look at the stars . . .or when I float through space . . . that quiet, peacefulness . . . the weightlessness of the heavens . . . my heart reaches out and becomes as endless as the universe . .. and the beauty is overwhelming and engulfs my soul . . . like a dream or the essence of a perfume laden night. This music is perfect for inspirational moments, meditation, dreams and relaxing activities . . . Beautiful . . . so beautiful!************************************************

Uplifting and pretty, this angelic music, by Spisfire, is just the thing to give you wings . . .Listen and fly to this trance like music . . . Beautiful to say the least.************************************************Mellow and beautiful . . . a quiet listen for a quiet audience . . the guitar like warm sunshine . . .like honey in the morning as the birds begin to sing . . like shadows, shortening as the sun rises . . . the music trembles delicately, like the last drop of dew . . in loveliness . . .

**************************************************This new album, by Van Syla, expresses the emotions of waiting at the station, that strange mix of anxiety and impatience . . . anticipation and boredom, just before boarding that plane or train . . . and then the second piece jazzifies the trip itself . . . excitement and happiness . . . we are finally on our way. Two very lovely pieces . . . enjoy and identify.

**************************************************I heard these guys on "A Prairie Home Companion" and was so intrigued that I had to track them down on the Internet . . . eclectic, unique, chaotic world . . . utterly impressive . . . Give them a listen.

I'm sorry for the lengthy post. I was surprised at the large number of recent albums I found to be pleasant and I found myself wanting to share those, along with an older album I stumbled over. So, listen and enjoy and maybe make some of your own comments on the album page of the musician . . . they like to hear your thoughts on their music . . .

The dreams we dream expressed in music . . . arc across a dew sprinkled night sky . . . eclectic, and wise . .. starlight dances in our ears to the drum of our heartbeat . . and our aching bones shake off the years of inertiaas we find our wingsand flyI loved this album by Dusthoney . . . the vocals and musical compositions were eclectic and interesting, beautiful and mysterious . . . deep and dreamy .. .. ******************************************************

I don't know about you . . . but sometimes I need a little push to get my butt in gear and get moving . . . sometimes a little energizing music can accomplish what, for me, will-power alone can not do . . . so listening to some trance or dance gets me livened up a bit . . . and here is an exceptionally well done little album . . gave me wings and energy juice . . . Every tune a unique delight . . . energy vibes throbbing like extra heart beats . . . WOW!

*****************************************************Now if you need some energizing music . . . but not the kind that forces you to dance, as the previous album does, you could always turn to Project System 12's music . . . His long playing albums have many energizing twists to the melodies . . . I think of these pieces as having positive spirited vitality . . . with a heart calming, yet uplifting personality. I have picked this one to share, but check out his page for others . . . So many and all so good!

*****************************************************One of my favorite Jamendo artists, of old, is Sean T Wright, and his passionate expressions of delight and energy. . . revealing his thoughts of life and love in this world via a hot, rocking guitar and his vocals . . . For a while he was publishing an album a month . . . all free to listen and download! Check out his page on Jamendo and elsewhere on the Internet.

*****************************************************Now for some calming lounge, to set the mood and the table for the evening meal . . . the candles glow and couples dance in a close embrace . . . the mood is one of happy chatter and twinkling stars . .. . *****************************************************Before sleeping we must calm our energies and our chattering brains and with this music we can end the day on a relaxing note .. . a place to retreat and dream of beauty . . . to float in the arms of our guardian angels and breathe deeply of gentle summer breezes and calming rains . . . feel the kiss of the rainbow and drink of cool waters as they tumble from the mountain heights . . .

Today, I decided to go through Orangeupurple's emails and have a good "toss-out" and organization of the thousands of emails left behind when I deserted that user on Jamendo. If you remember I switched from "Orangeupurple" to Wolfsong.thePoet as a type of clarification of my style of review (remember I am not trained in music). I am also being a bit nostalgic in regards to the old days on Jamendo . . . the artists and listeners having such great conversations and interactions . . . and that whole bit about "Saving Jamendo." What an adventure . . . and I think we did save Jamendo . . . although it is a bit changed and we no longer have those great conversations and arguments . . .I am re-reading some of the old 'thank-you for reviews,' and tons and tons of pleas to listen . . . So . . . having been enticed to listen to some old albums and re-listening to old friend's music . . . I am pulling out a few to share with you.

Le Pandorien shines at his best when he is doing his piano improvisations . . . His every dream shining out through his dancing fingers as they express his heart through those black and whites . . . This latest album is one of his best. He has greatly improved over time and I do look forward to even newer albums . . .. Some of his older albums were so creative and full of story .. .. yet often had the background sounds of his environment pushing through . . . So, now I think he has new equipment because the sound is so much better. Delightful album!*****************************************************

Oh my word, but I love this guy's music! He hasn't made anything new on Jamendo for several years . . . . . . but what he did share is still there and very much relevant to the discerning ears. This was his last album and a delight as usual although some of the tracks are very short. I think he enjoyed making music for videos and video games.****************************************************

Although, recommended by a friend years ago, I never listened before today! This German rock group has made some excellent stuff to share . . . love the female vocalist . . . love the striking guitar . . . love the whole package! Having made a search for more recent stuff from them, I have found that they have existed up through 2011 and not since then. Perhaps they have disbanded and the individuals have found other platforms . . . however, the group still has 25 tracks (three albums) still up on Jamendo for the listen and download . . . enjoy!******************************************************

Red Puma has been one of my favorites for quite some time. Most of his albums have disappeared, but this one remains and gives the flavoring of the exotic styles that he produced for Jamendo . . . I never knew anything about him but I do know that my eyes lit up when I saw his name on the latest production lists . . . So here is a sampling . . . and very tasty indeed!*******************************************************

Haven't heard these guys before . . . but so enjoying their house styled dance . . . the distant voices adding such a cool emphases to the music. This album was recommended by a friend, so, thank you friend . . . belated, but still . . . This music was so mesmerizing and energizing . . . glad I finally decided to listen . . .********************************************************So, let's end this posting with a soft, peaceful . . note . . . something to give you wings and an uplifted spirit:

KOLDMusic has been one of my old favorites . . . always some of the finest ambient, new-age, fantasy . . . enjoy your dreams . . . and find your peace!**********************************************************Please note that I will continue with this enterprise . . . bringing back old memories and old friends . . . music that is still great no matter how old and finding some of the most wonderful music from beneath the dust . . . and thank you for listening . . . .*********************************************************

Interesting time to look at the clock . . . IS there something significant about seeing those numerals on your chronometer? There are many who seem to think so . . . Whatever . . . it was at that moment, I looked at my computer's clock that I decided to make this blog entry . . . The numerical ones seemed to float there for an inordinate amount of time and I gazed until that changed . . . I was listening to this first album on my list and decided I liked it . . . and wanted to share:

Tags: dance, instrumental, beats, experimental

I would reference this music as experimental chill . . . interesting and ear catching, it offers energy and relaxation all in the same box . . . The instruments used were diverse and appealing while folding each piece's experience into a smoothly ordered goal oriented path . . . Some of the vocals were like a pebble dropped into a smooth pond . . . sometimes creating a chilling surrealism, and the percussions and beats were often compelling and vivacious . . . Overall this was a very appealing album . .. quite lengthy with twenty-four tracks . .. set your player and enjoy!

*************************************************

Tags: soundtrack, movie, classical, videogame, electronical

Dramatic and visual, intrepid and fluid . . . this music describes itself as soundtracks with personality often do . . . with visceral energy and depth using a flow of strings, electronic stimulations, or varieties of percussive beats to describe a story . . . this music drives home the vision. Very nice!

************************************************

Tags: jazz, groove, instrumental

This album played well with my senses . . . straight forward, electric guitar bluesy/jazz . . . great beats and warm, with mild energy and expressiveness . . . excellent for background music and plain listening.

***************************************************

Tags: piano, emotional, impressionism, pianosolo, acoustics

Basic emotional piano . . . fine and well-tuned . . . I am always so pleased when I can find some good plain piano playing . . . the best for expressing sentimental feelings and impassioned drama . . . This album's music ranged in personality from the ecstatic to the melodic poignant thoughtful pieces . . . and was a treat for my listening ear.

****************************************************

Tags: mystic, desert, orchestra, themes, arabian

One of the latest albums by GT . . . with his entertaining dialogue between the movie critics, Sissy and Herbert, regarding this fantastical thematic music for a movie of the mind. (Say THAT five times without tripping on your tongue) . .. . ."Desert Dreams" is dedicated to the memory of Peter O'Toole and the music is dreamy and beautiful as a magical voyage across the sea of sand!

Dreamy and exotic as heavenly angelic song, with bell-like sounds echoing into the horizon, while filling the atmosphere of the listener with a peacefulness and a heart stirring reverie . . . This album holds true to its foundation and is a lovely listen for a lazy afternoon . . .

**************************************************First . . .This unique, intimate, and mentally-stimulating, experimentally expressive album is highly deserving of several close listens. . . . The tracks incorporate various sounds and white spaces . . . chimes and breathes . . creative percussion and instrumental music all blended and woven into a visionary sound poetry. The waves and ripples of this enterprise takes the listener into the darkest caves of life . . or along the expanding pathways of the mind as it wanders under the stars of memory and experience . . . Listen .. . . and evolve . . .

********************************************************SecondFind the delight in Re-Lab's beautiful classical music . . . a treat for the ears and the heart . . . a calming of the emotions as these pieces waft through your environment . . . with a scent of cool water kissed by the golden sun . . . and a flow of serenity through relaxing dreams which carry you away to wherever you wish . . . enjoy!

**********************************************

Third

Cheer yourself up with the sprightly, jazzy sounds of this charming album . . . Brimming with a wandering, ambling sensation . . . a delight to listen to at any moment . . . Fresh and breezy to cleanse the emotional palate and give you room to breath . . . and energy to move . . .

**********************************************

FourthMy joy at finding a new album of Southman's piano compositions is indescribable . . . His funky jazzy music expresses itself with a whimsical personality and a peaceful manner with a dreaminess enveloping the energies and twinkles of each note . . . This musician has a talent that includes a gifted ability to make those black and whites to speak to every emotion and nuance of life . . . Exceptional!

********************************************

Fifth

Relax yourself out with this ambient, new-agey style of music . . . Dream and enjoy the flow of gentle melody . . . find peace in your day . . .
